Plus cocktails and the chance to win flights to Sydney

Etihad Airways is delighted to announce that Dannii Minogue, Patrick Vieira and Harlequins RFC’s Danny Care will be joining its stand (ME150) at World Travel Market (7-10 November 2011). Visitors to the stand will be able to find out more information about Etihad’s latest news, route launches and special offers whilst sipping cocktails and mocktails with this year’s all-star line up. Guests will also be in with the chance to win return flights to Sydney, Australia.

On Monday 7 November, Manchester City Football Club player Patrick Vieira will be visiting the Etihad stand for photo calls and autograph signing between 12 and 2pm. Bringing a tropical beach touch to the event on Monday afternoon, between 3 and 5pm, Danny Care and a number of Harlequins RFC first team players, will show off a different set of skills, making and serving guests cocktails, just in time for the launch of Etihad’s exotic new routes to The Maldives and Seychelles.

On Tuesday 8 November, Dannii Minogue will join the Etihad Airways team between 3 and 5pm, signing autographs with travel trade guests and the general public. Dannii Minogue’s appearance as an ambassador for Etihad is especially pertinent in view of the recent launch of the Etihad Skypass promotion, offering two free internal Australian flights when booked in conjunction with Etihad flights to Sydney, Melbourne or Brisbane.

In addition, guests will also have the chance to win flights to Sydney with Etihad Airways and Virgin Australia, simply by having their WTM badge scanned by an Etihad representative at the stand.

ENGLAND RUGBY STARS CLOSE LONDON FASHION WEEK IN STYLE BY STRIPPING OFF FOR CHARITY

It takes a lot to get Genevieve and I excited. Rugby stars Ugo Monye, Danny Care, Nils Mordt and Seb Stegmann stripping off to help Ghanaian children’s charity AfriKids, managed to do it though.

Perfectly toned Rugby stars Ugo Monye, Danny Care, Nils Mordt and Seb Stegmann got their kit off in support of Deutsche Bank’s charity of the year, AfriKids, bringing London Fashion Week to a close with The Alternative London Fashion Event. I have never heard grown women scream so much in my life.

Monye made his first public appearance for the Ghanaian children’s charity AfriKids, bringing along his England Rugby pals to bare all (well, almost!) for the evening and support the event, at the exclusive One Mayfair. The beautiful converted church setting showcased some of the world’s most recognised designer’s autumn and winter collection pieces, alongside some African designers connected to AfriKids. Not only did the England stars parade in the designer underwear, but guests also bid for the skimpy items protecting their modesty in an auction at the end of the night.

Thanks to the likes of Jaeger, Ted Baker, The Couture Gallery, Wolford, Frank Usher and many other designers who donated pieces from their latest collections, nearly £20,000 was generated on the night which will go directly to help improve life for Ghana’s most vulnerable and disadvantaged children, including the ‘spirit children’.

During the evening the audience were also given the chance to bid for a dinner date with Ugo and former England Captain Nick Easter

About AfriKids.

AfriKids is a Child Rights organisation set up nearly a decade ago to work on traditional children’s projects including foster homes, schools and street child centres and also more groundbreaking initiatives which tackle complex cultural issues, including child trafficking, child labour and the spirit child phenomenon. During her gap year in 1997, Georgie Fienberg, Founder of AfriKids, realised that there was a dire need to prevent the deaths of so-called ‘spirit children’. ‘Spirit Children’ are those whose mothers die during childbirth, which are then regarded by African society and culture as outcasts to live and survive on the fringes of society.

As well as financing and delivering sustainable child rights projects, AfriKids owns and runs businesses, including a medical centre, an eco-lodge and several ethical trade programmes. AfriKids aims for its Western office, based in London, to be redundant by 2018.
